Room Temperature, Metal-Free, Regioselective Arylselenation of Anilines Using Diselenides as Selenium Source

This work is dedicated to Professor Deevi Basavaiah (University of Hyderabad) on his 71st birthday.

Abstract

A metal-free direct C–H selenation of aniline derivatives via an iodine-catalyzed C–Se bond formation using diselenides as a selenium source at ambient temperature is described. A variety of aniline derivatives underwent regioselective C–H selenation with different diselenides to afford the corresponding aryl selenoethers in good to excellent yields.

Key words

C–H selenation - aniline derivatives - aryl selenoethers - regio­selective - metal-free
